At the end of 2013, a total of 1,696,538 “.es” domains were registered. Management of these Internet domain names assigned under the country code for Spain is entrusted to the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism through the public entity Red.es. This figure compares with a total of 1,614,149 in the previous year and reflects an increase of 5.1%.

The new directive on “reassignment of domain names of general interest” is intended to regulate the procedure for reassigning domain names in those cases in which said names have been abusively registered, implementing the specific procedural rules in the National Domain Names Plan.

Availability is a key factor when choosing and registering a domain. In the case of .es, availability is a clear competitive advantage, as it is a less saturated domain in comparison with others such as .com, .net or .org to name but a few.
